Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 140 - : The Child was Switched Twenty-Two Years Ago
Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Child was Switched Twenty-Two Years Ago
Xu Guangyao was the calmest; he took his wife and left the hospital ward.
“Doctor Xiaoqiao, the incident yesterday was my wife’s mistake. We apologize to you and hope you won’t impulsively resign,” Xu Guangyao said hypocritically.

“I acted out of urgency, I apologize.” Liu Huimin was a doting mother, but she wasn’t completely thoughtless.
Even if she didn’t like Qiao Xi, she knew the gravity of the situation.
First, coax her not to resign.
If they really wanted her to divorce Huo Xingzhou, they had other means. If necessary, the Xu Family would gamble big for their daughter’s lifelong happiness.
Qiao Xi looked at them and said, “I will definitely resign, not out of temper or impulse.”
“What conditions do you require to reconsider your resignation?” Liu Huimin asked eagerly.
“Madam Xu, yesterday you told me to scram back to my own class, and today you’re dropping your pride to plead with me not to resign. Do all you wealthy people excel at changing faces?”
“I take back what I said yesterday, and I apologize to you,” Liu Huimin regretted deeply. She should have considered everything before dealing with Qiao Xi, rather than threatening her directly.
Qiao Xi looked at her calmly, “Can you vomit the food you ate yesterday?”
She truly was impervious.
Liu Huimin could no longer maintain her ladylike demeanor, she asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Qiao Xi replied coldly, “I want to resign.”
Liu Huimin was so full of regret that she was green inside; she had had no idea that Qiao Xi was so stubborn. Had she known, she would never have antagonized her.
Xu Guangyao patted his wife’s back in a soothing manner, yet internally he was very pleased with Qiao Xi’s answer.
He was more than eager for Qiao Xi to resign and was quite grateful for Liu Huimin’s folly at a critical moment.
“Doctor Qiao, that’s a human life we’re talking about! If he wakes up, you could become famous everywhere!” Liu Huimin tried desperately to persuade her.
Qiao Xi shook her head, “As long as he stays in the hospital, he won’t die easily.”
Abiding by the ethics of a doctor, Qiao Xi said, “Science and medicine are progressing, and internationally, there are more studies on vegetative states. I don’t know who made the decision for him to recuperate at home, but it was very unwise. If he had been brought to the hospital years earlier… he might have already woken up by now.”
Could any medical team be better than the resources of a major hospital?
More than twenty years ago, Lu Bannong couldn’t cure him. Perhaps it was due to the limitations of the era, and the underdeveloped medical science.
Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not in opposition; they complement each other.
Qiao Xi knew well that her medical skills weren’t that exceptional; this period of time, she had relied on the help of neurology specialists.
Upon hearing this, Xu Guangyao’s pupils constricted.
Qiao Xi said coldly, “I will be responsible for the handover during the one-month resignation period. After that, please do as you see fit.”
She was kind, but she also had edges.
After Qiao Xi finished speaking, she left.
Liu Huimin almost collapsed into Xu Guangyao’s arms, “Did we do something wrong? If we had sent second brother to the hospital earlier, would he have…”
Xu Guangyao’s palm was moist as he gently said, “Huimin, are you blaming me? It was my idea at the beginning.”
“Guangyao, you have always had the best intentions for your brother. He could get better care at home, doctors and nurses aren’t that attentive.”
Liu Huimin loved Xu Guangyao deeply and never doubted his intentions.
“Perhaps Qiao Xi said all those things just to make me feel guilty,” Liu Huimin consoled herself with an excuse.
Xu Guangyao patted her shoulder and kissed her cheek, “Don’t overthink it, second brother’s condition is improving. He may wake up within this month.”
“Yes.”
Liu Huimin hoped that in the month before Qiao Xi left, she would put her heart and soul into her work.
Xu Guangyao said tenderly, “There are matters at the company; I’ll get the driver to take you back.”
“Don’t tire yourself out, husband; I would be heartbroken,” Liu Huimin looked at him with affection.
Decades into their marriage, her affection was still as sweet as if it was their first love.
Xu Guangyao smiled and concealed the scorn in his eyes as he said, “Let’s go.”
…
Xu Guangyao left the hospital, hailed a taxi, and headed to Central Mall.
Afterwards, he switched to another taxi and arrived at the Biyuan Residential Area. It was a high-end, private community in Haicheng, rumored to be home to some celebrities.
“Drive into the underground parking garage,” Xu Guangyao told the taxi driver.
“Sure thing.” The driver, used to such sights, was unimpressed.
Xu Guangyao got out of the car, took out an access card, and swiped it to take the elevator to the 16th floor. There was only one residence per floor, each a sprawling luxury apartment.
When the elevator doors opened, a fragrant breeze wafted through.
A woman with a pretty face and well-maintained appearance threw herself into his arms.
“Guangyao!” she squealed in a pinched voice, “You haven’t come to see me in such a long time.”
Xu Guangyao’s hand roamed as he hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately. “Here I am now, aren’t I?”
“Then you’ll have to make it up to me. For every time you slept with Liu Huimin, you owe me one,” she said as she flipped her long hair and kicked off her high heels, wrapping her arms around his waist and seducing him fervently.
“Do you still have the medicine?” Xu Guangyao took off his suit jacket, unable to wait any longer.
The refined and dignified Mr. Xu on the outside was, in this place, a debauched rogue who couldn’t get enough, letting his true nature run wild.
“Of course, it’ll make sure you enjoy yourself.”
The two shamelessly stripped off their clothes and rolled around on the carpet. Xu Guangyao uttered filthy, vulgar words, and the woman took special pleasure in it, feigning cries in response.
Nearing fifty, Xu Guangyao lacked the vigor of a young man. But as women grow more eager with age, she coaxed him into swallowing several blue medicinal pills.
Driven by male pride, Xu Guangyao held out, waiting for the woman to plead for mercy.
“Guangyao! Dear brother, please spare me,” she trembled, giggling.
“Who makes you feel better, me or Liu Huimin?” she teased.
Holding her dearly, Xu Guangyao exclaimed, “Liu Huimin is like a dead fish in bed, nowhere near as wild as you.”
As night fell and the sudden rain stopped,
Xu Guangyao held Shen Shiyun tenderly in his arms, his fingers still restlessly pinching her skin. “Liu Huimin can’t take care of herself like you do.”
Shen Shiyun asked with a smile, “Really? But she’s the youngest daughter of the Liu Family.”
The person she hated the most in her life was Liu Huimin. Even though she and Xu Guangyao were childhood sweethearts and she was his first love, she could only be his mistress, living in the shadows.
“She’s no match for you,” Xu Guangyao said, drawing on his post-coital cigarette, the smoke wafting away as he savored the moment.
He caressed the woman’s soft skin and cooed, “We are childhood sweethearts, while Liu Huimin is just a stepping stone for my rise to power. You’re always in my heart, and you even bore me a daughter.”
Shen Shiyun rubbed her chest against his arm and said, “How is Xingluo doing lately? I heard she tried to kill herself.”
“She’s fine. But there’s something else: Liu Zongyun’s condition is improving,” he said.
Shen Shiyun looked up in shock, “If he wakes up, our swapping of babies twenty-two years ago can’t stay hidden.”
That year, she chose to give birth via cesarean on the same day as Liu Huimin and switched the two baby girls. Xu Guangyao had his confidant deal with Liu Huimin’s child, but everything was overheard by Liu Zongyun.
Xu Guangyao decisively dealt with Liu Zongyun.
“He won’t wake up!” Xu Guangyao said harshly.
Shen Shiyun voiced her concern, “Lately, I’ve been feeling very uneasy. Guangyao, is the child truly dead?”
“Dead. I saw the photos,” he said, squinting, “Pale as a ghost, thoroughly dead.”
This was his revenge against Liu Huimin and the Liu Family!
He had started from nothing, enduring years of looking up to the Liu Family and accumulating a lot of resentment in his heart.
